| Popis: | The sexuality manifests itself more strongly in adolescence, a phase were there are intense transformations. At school, there is no room for discussion on the subject. The aim of this study was to understand the psychosocial aspects of teenager’s sexuality, revealed through the development of workshops. A qualitative study, based on action research and problem-solving methodology, performed in a public school in the city of Juazeiro, Bahia, through the critical-emancipatory workshop “Tell me teacher, because I want to enjoy life!” with First and Secondary School Students. The results indicate that many teenagers are afraid to talk to their family because they believe they will be reprimanded, as well as have little knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Diseases and about sexual and reproductive rights. The homosexuality was the most controversial subject and with divergent opinions. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize sexual and reproductive education in schools, approaching the theme in an alternative way to the traditional model. The taboos, beliefs and myths regarding sexuality in adolescence need to be discussed through strategies that recognize adolescents as performers. In addition, a more reflective learning with more humane principles is important in relation to sexuality, reducing stigma, discrimination and violence in society. |
